The Challenge

Azure spend is the fastest-growing line item on your IT budget. And the hardest to control.

Microsoft 365 licensing is complex but Azure cost management is a different beast entirely. With hundreds of service types, multiple pricing models, regional variations, and constant resource sprawl, most organisations have no clear picture of where their Azure money actually goes.

Three problem callouts:

You're overspending and you probably know it.

Industry research consistently shows that organisations waste 30–35% of their cloud spend. That’s not a rounding error for a company spending £50K/month on Azure, it’s over £200K per year going up in smoke.

The tools you have aren't enough.

Azure Cost Management gives you the data but not the analysis. Azure Advisor gives you some recommendations but not the full picture. Spreadsheets give you a headache. You need a platform that connects the dots and tells you exactly what to do.

It's getting worse, not better.

Every new project, every dev environment, every “temporary” VM that becomes permanent your Azure estate grows daily. Without continuous, automated optimisation, waste compounds month after month.

The Azure Module

Everything Kaizen.iq Does For M365 Now For Your Entire Azure Estate.

Azure Consumption Analytics

Complete visibility into your Azure spend by subscription, resource group, service, region, and tag. Drill down from portfolio level to individual resource. Understand exactly where every pound goes and whether it’s justified by actual usage.

Compute Right-Sizing

kaizen.IQ analyses CPU, memory, and network utilisation across all VMs, App Services, and Functions. If a resource is consistently underutilised, you get a specific recommendation the target SKU, the projected saving, and the risk level. No guesswork.

Idle & Orphaned Resource Detection0

kaizen.IQ analyses CPU, memory, and network utilisation across all VMs, App Services, and Functions. If a resource is consistently underutilised, you get a specific recommendation the target SKU, the projected saving, and the risk level. No guesswork.

Storage & Database Optimisation

Not all data needs premium storage. kaizen.IQ analyses access patterns and recommends tier migrations Hot to Cool, Cool to Archive based on real usage. The same intelligence applies to database SKUs, where right-sizing Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, or PostgreSQL can yield substantial savings.

Reservation & Savings Plan Intelligence

Running stable workloads on pay-as-you-go? You’re leaving money on the table. kaizen.IQ analyses your historical usage and recommends Reserved Instances or Savings Plans where the break-even point makes sense with 1-year and 3-year projections, payback analysis, and coverage modelling.

Continuous Monitoring & Drift Detection

Azure environments change daily. kaizen.IQ monitors your estate continuously and alerts you when new waste appears, resources are over-provisioned, spend spikes unexpectedly, or reservations are about to expire. Your optimisation stays current, not stale.

Going Deeper

Built For The Nuances That Other Tools Miss.

Dev/Test Detection

Production pricing on development workloads is one of Azure’s most expensive mistakes. kaizen.IQ identifies resources that match dev/test usage patterns — low utilisation during business hours, idle overnight and weekends — and flags them for reclassification at dev/test rates, often saving 40–60%.

Region Cost Arbitrage

Azure pricing varies by region, sometimes significantly. kaizen.IQ identifies workloads that could run in a lower-cost region without impacting latency, compliance, or data residency requirements — and shows you the exact monthly saving.

Azure Hybrid Benefit Detection

Detection If you hold existing Windows Server or SQL Server licences with Software Assurance, you may be entitled to significant Azure discounts that aren’t being applied. kaizen.IQ scans your resources and flags every missed Hybrid Benefit opportunity.

Network Cost Analysis

Data egress, peering, VPN gateways, and load balancers can be surprisingly expensive. kaizen.IQ analyses your networking topology and spend, identifies unused or over-provisioned network resources, and highlights optimisation opportunities most teams overlook.

Billing Model Normalisation

Whether you’re on an Enterprise Agreement, CSP, Pay-As-You-Go, or Microsoft Customer Agreement, kaizen.IQ normalises your billing data into a consistent format — so your analysis is accurate regardless of how you purchase Azure.

Multi-Subscription Management

Large organisations and MSPs often manage dozens of Azure subscriptions. kaizen.IQ aggregates data across all subscriptions within a tenant and presents a unified view — no more switching between subscription contexts in the Azure portal.

One Platform

M365 + Azure. Together At Last.

Most organisations manage Microsoft 365 licences and Azure resources as completely separate cost lines — different tools, different teams, different reports. kaizen.IQ brings them together in a single platform, giving you a unified view of your total Microsoft spend for the first time.

Three benefit blocks:

Combined Microsoft Spend Dashboard See your total Microsoft investment in one view — M365 licences on one side, Azure consumption on the other. Understand the full picture for the first time, without stitching together separate reports.

Cross-Platform Recommendations Some optimisations span both M365 and Azure. For example, users with E5 licences who don’t use Defender may be better served by E3 plus standalone Azure security services. kaizen.IQ identifies these cross-platform opportunities that siloed tools miss entirely.

Single Reporting Pipeline Generate unified executive reports that cover your entire Microsoft estate — one document, one story, one set of numbers for the board. No more reconciling M365 licence reports with Azure cost exports.

For MSPs

Azure Optimisation Across Your Entire Client Base. From Day One.

If you’re already using kaizen.IQ to optimise M365 for your clients, the Azure module slots straight into your existing partner dashboard. Connect your clients’ Azure subscriptions alongside their M365 tenants and deliver a complete Microsoft optimisation service — all from the same multi-tenant view.

Key MSP points:

Multi-Tenant Azure Management

See Azure consumption, waste, and recommendations for every client alongside their M365 data. No additional portal, no separate login.

Expanded Service Offering

Azure optimisation is a high-demand, high-value service that most MSPs don’t offer. Adding it to your portfolio creates a new revenue stream and deepens client relationships.

Unified Client Reports

White-label reports that cover both M365 and Azure optimisation in a single document. Your clients get one report, one conversation, one trusted advisor.

Higher Savings, Higher Margins

Azure waste typically exceeds M365 waste in absolute terms. For a client spending £20K/month on Azure, identifying 25% waste means £60K in annual savings you can charge against.
